Premium Nike retro's have some decent quality and the really premium stuff like the Patta Air Max 1's are insane good quality.....can't say thesame about any Jordan's!

It depends on which shoe, but jordan number line (retro) are fashion shoes to me. You just cant ball the same as ogs.

idk i would have to say that the quality in jordan brand has slipped way passed nike because when i seen the retro XII black and red up close the paint lookedlike a kindergarden kid put it on them. it was all blotched up and the 23 on the back of the shoe was a different color red from the rest of the shoe and thenthe finger loop on the back of the shoe was uneven! but the penny's that i got were perfectly straight i ain seen nun wrong wit dem since i had dem. gottado better JB

Fairly to NT, but I'm old enough to know what shoes WERE like and what they are now. Over the course of the year, I've sent 3 pairs of retro shoesback to Nike for faults in production, and the production date was less than 2 years old. Now I've got 3 vouchers from Nike to use at their website, but Idon't even know if I want to waste my time buying an updated version of a shoe I once had back in '91 in 8th grade. In those days you could run thoseinto the ground, and the soles fell off. Now they crack and fall off after a few trips to the store. Just a sign of the times and I doubt things will changemuch.

Ehh... when my CDP XII's came in the mail, i thought they were a pair of b-grades.
Worse of all the XII's released this past year... for sure.
To say where JB has desended to would be trite, so i'm not going to be a horse that is beyond dead.
So of course, Nike Retro > JB.
(but what i did notice on the Penny II's, the Atlantics were the most flimsy-seeming of the OG colorways
and the 3M striping was half the size compared to the black/blue/whites. If you own both pairs, check
it out).
The Griffs, ATC II's and Zoom Flight 95 Kidds were on point, for sure.
